L.A. Louver is pleased to present an exhibition by visual artist, musician and playwright Terry Allen. The exhibition asserts the central role of drawing and working on paper, as the continuum through which Allen’s ideas take shape, and features works that span the length of his multifarious career. With nearly 100 drawings dating from the ’60s to the present, the show extends throughout the gallery’s first and second floor spaces, and also includes sculptural objects, video installations and audio from his various albums and radio plays – demonstrating the tremendous breadth of Allen’s life and work as told through stories, pictures and songs.
